Carroll Junior High School

Summary:

Carroll Junior High School is a public middle school located in Monroe, Louisiana, serving grades 7-8 with a student population of 335. The school is part of the City of Monroe School District, which is ranked 87 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Carroll Junior High School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Louisiana middle schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (97.61%) compared to the surrounding schools, such as Neville Junior High School and Sterlington Middle School, which have more diverse racial compositions. Carroll Junior High School's proficiency rates in LEAP/Mathematics and LEAP/English Language Arts are significantly lower than the City of Monroe School District and the state of Louisiana averages. Additionally, the school's rankings for female, male, African American, special education, and low socioeconomic status students are all in the bottom quartile of Louisiana middle schools, indicating significant achievement gaps for these student subgroups.

The high percentage of students (over 87%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, as well as the relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.4 to 19 over the past three school years, may be contributing factors to the school's low academic performance. The nearby schools, such as Neville Junior High School and Sterlington Middle School, have significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates that are 20-30 percentage points higher than Carroll Junior High School in core subject areas. Addressing the challenges faced by Carroll Junior High School will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and address the root causes of the school's underperformance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
